Oh, har har hardy har har. Gimme a gigantic break! Where did you learn

What else? History has shown men to be much more logical than women.
Who discovered and exploited virtually all of the scientific disciplines
in the world today? -Men. Sure, there are a few oddball cases. Mdm.
Curie might have originally explored some of the attributes of radium,
but ultimately she screwed it up and left the pieces for a man to pick
up, organize, and make sense of.

Yes, of course. In the luteal phase, men have more to notice.

Yes, it *is* a good thing. The trouble is that too many women today are
too busy spending their time trying to prove they're "equal" to realize
this.

It's just a way to vent and massage the ego. Women have a similar
shtick executed *their* way, and both really serve the same function for
the respective sexes. The trouble starts when you try to mix the two.

Heck no! My friends have their own mothers and fathers. Now, I, -er,
can't remember what I said women are and men aren't, although it must
have been something negative.

Sure, there are always exceptions. And honestly, inter-sexual
communication can be very awkward because it comes from a different
base. It is my belief that male homosexuality at least derives from
nothing so much as the subject's inability to communicate in a
meaningful way with the "object" of his desires.

Perhaps, but it ruins the story.

Tsk, tsk. Australians don't like it when you make fun of their suburbs.

Yes, -a favorite expression of the pseudo-yuppie class (female).

Actually, I'm Cro-magnon. Sometime in the distant but historical past,
one each of my forefathers and foremothers who by then had shed their
foreskins for real clothes settled in the picturesque albeit chilly
valleys of Scandia, aka. Scandinavia. After a bit of Vikinging, great x
10 or 20 grandpa Neredbojias decided to settle down and raise
loganberries in order to become a productive member of society,
contribute to the general bounty of the community, and get drunk on the
wine. A few hundred years later, one of his descendants was evicted for
alcoholism and wended his way over to the United States where anybody
has a right to be an alcoholic if they want. It's great to be free.

What in life *isn't* a man's prerogative?

Contrary to popular belief, it is believable.
